​With a higher budget and more advanced special effects than any previous film in the series, THE RETURN OF GODZILLA® returns Japan’s greatest monster to his intended role as an epic force of destruction and the film’s spectacular success re-launched the Godzilla® franchise after nearly a decade in suspended animation.

Unfortunately for North American audiences, this direct sequel to the original 1954 feature film has previously only been available in a highly edited version that cut over twenty minutes of original footage and effects, changed key plot points and altered the dark dramatic tone and narrative by inserting additional scenes and humor in an attempt to “Americanize” the film. But now, at long last, the acclaimed kaiju masterpiece finally hits American shores in all its uncut original glory! Get ready for the biggest Godzilla® epic that you’ve never seen as Kraken Releasing unleashes the complete and unedited THE RETURN OF GODZILLA®!

THE RETURN OF GODZILLA® will be released on September 13th.

Toho released two trailers today a 30 second spot (below) and a full trailer (above) and there was pics (bottom) and info from Cinema Today (Japan) and the official Shin Godzilla site. The movie, which is to be released July 29th, will be released in IMAX as well as 4D ([4DX] [MX4D]) at the same time in Japan. It seems to hint that this will be the biggest release of the year in Japan, I don't doubt it.

It has been announced that advance tickets for Shin Godzilla will go on sale April 23, the film hit theaters July 29, 2016. Those that get advance sell tickets will receive a "Godzilla Vs.

Earlier we posted the announcement regarding Shin Godzilla including the Godzilla Vs Evangelion promo print now we have more pics of the merchandise (below) and there were logos as well (above) besides the print. There was rumor as well of a crossover movie but that part was a April Fool's joke on Toho's part but considering Neon Genesis Evangelion director Hideaki Anno is doing Shin Godzilla is wasn't so far fetched.

Toho has released a teaser trailer (above) as well as poster (below) for Shin Gojira/Godzilla: Resurgence the forthcoming Japanese Godzilla film. The movie, slated for release in 2016, will be the first Godzilla film by TOHO since 2004's Godzilla: Final Wars. Also reveal in an article in Japan's Chunichi Sports his size will be 118.5 meters tall, that's just under 389 feet and about 10 meters taller than Legendary's version.

The reveal of the poster, trailer, and more for the new Toho Godzilla picture has already inspired kaiju artists Jeff Zornow, Matt Frank, and ​Shinji Nishikawa to draw the New Godzilla! Check them out below.

As posted a few sites online we now know the official title of the new Japanese Godzilla movie, Shin Gojira (or Shin Godzilla). We also now know the main cast, Hiromi Hasegawa, Yutaka Takenouchi and Satomi Ishihara. Satomi Ishihara has previously worked with co-director Anno Hideaki on ATTACK ON TITAN film, and was also a recipient of the Japanese Academy Award for Best New Actress. Co-star, Hiromi Hasegawa also won an Academy Award for Best Newcomer. Famed Japanese actor Yutaka Takenouchi, who is also a Japanese Academy Award winner Best Lead Actor. They all definitely help create some major positive buzz for the film's possibilities. There is also info to say Shin Gojira may be the biggest Godzilla ever, even bigger then Legendary's Godzilla. The film will also take place in current day Japan. More info as we get it.
Update: A website for the new film has launched - http://shin-godzilla.jp/.
